   As per speculation on the fate of the Apple II...
   
   Has anyone noticed that the Apple // magazines seem are getting thinner
and thinner on cheaper paper?  This sort of thing happens when a computer is
about to belly-up and die.  I have back issues of A+ and Nibble that were as
thick as MacWorld and MacUser are now.  I've seen this sort of thing happen
before (TRS-80 -- Boy!  That was a llllooooonnnnnngggg time ago!)  I think
that how a computer magazine looks is a fairly good indication of how well a 
computer is doing.  If it's thin and cheap looking, that means that they
are cutting corners and most likely losing money.
